"So when threading is used, there is only a single operating system level thread while python creates pseudo-threads which are completely managed by threading itself but are essentially running as a single process. " That is not true. Python threads are real OS-threads. What you are describing are green threads, Python does not use that. It's just that a thread needs to hold the GIL to execute Python-bytecode which makes thread-execution sequential.

Now in case of self-contained instances of execution, you can instead opt for pool. But in case of overlapping data, where you may want processes communicating you should use multiprocessing.Process. What pool? The multiprocessing library has a Pool, so this doesn't make much sense.
